The latest Halifax 2018 Rural Areas Quality of Life Survey found the top five hotspots included Rutland (East Midlands) in second place, followed by Wychavon (West Midlands) and Winchester and Waverley (). The annual study analyses key factors that combine to determine quality of life across the nation, including employment, education, social and environmental factors. The Orkney Islands maintained top scored on employment rate (87%) and average spend per pupil on education ( 9,662), a top three place in low anxiety levels, crime rate, primary class size and consistently high scores in life satisfaction and happiness. Rutland revealed as runner up Rutland in the East Midlands has the second best quality of life, scoring well across the measures, with a high average life expectancy (male 82 years and female 85 years) and 97% of adults considering themselves to be in good health. Rutland residents have some of the biggest homes in rural Britain with an average of 6.4 habitable rooms and nine out of 10 homes (92%) having superfast broadband. School performance is the highest in England with 71% of 15+ year-olds achieving five or more GCSE results at grades A-C. Wychavon in West Midlands, along with Winchester and Waverley in the, complete the top five. These areas all performed well in the Personal Well-Being Survey, as well as having high male and female life expectancy. Residents in Waverley also take home the highest weekly wage in the UK ( 921). Russell Galley, Managing Director, and Halifax, said: With strong education and employment levels, low crime rates and residents loving life, not to mention breathtaking wide open spaces, the Orkney Islands have retained the crown of Britain s best rural place to live. The winning formula for quality of life in the countryside seems to consistently include high employment levels and top scores on wellbeing, along with low school class sizes and high average spend per pupil more than twice the national average. 1

The survey is based on data at local authority district (LAD) level and examines 109 rural LADs in Great Britain. Data has also been gathered from a number of sources, including: Halifax, OFCOM (Broadband data), ONS, DEFRA, the Met Office, the Department for Transport, Department of Children, Schools and Families, the Department of Energy and Climate Change, the Welsh Assembly, and the Scottish Executive. The quality of life reading for each LAD has been created by summing scores across 26 variables within 8 broad groups. Each LAD is given a score out of 10 for each variable contained in the index. Scores within each of the broad groups are averaged and then the seven group scores are summed to create an overall quality of life score. Note: 1 The British Beer & Pub Association represents Britain s brewers and pub companies, members account for some 96% of beer brewed in Britain today, and own more than half of the nation s pubs. These members are from international brewers, to market-leading managed pub companies, the nation s largest tenanted pub companies and historic family brewers. 2 health clubs and leisure centres covers commercial health & fitness clubs and the other local authority leisure centres, local authority swimming pools with gyms and universities with access for the public. Source: Leisure intelligence analysis supplied by John Turner Leisure Marketing Limited t/a Leisure Lists This analysis was undertaken using the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Urban Rural classification. This classification defines an area as a Rural Area if it lies in a town or village of less than 10,000, or as an urban area if it lies in a town or city of 10,000 or more residents. A rural LAD is one where the majority of these residents live in rural areas.
